Today, Jianwei successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis, “Semantic-Aware Vulnerability Detection in Modern Web Applications.”

His research addresses critical challenges in web security by developing semantic-aware techniques for detecting vulnerabilities in complex, modern web applications. Notably, his work has identified numerous zero-day vulnerabilities (with many assigned CVEs) across a wide range of real-world web applications, demonstrating both the practical impact and technical depth of his contributions.

We are delighted to celebrate this well-deserved achievement and look forward to seeing the impact he will make in his next role at Palo Alto Networks.

Big congratulations, Dr. Huang! Wishing you continued success in this exciting new chapter.

Huancheng successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis, “Enabling Efficient, Effective, and Intelligent In-Network Monitoring on Programmable Switches,” today!

This milestone marks the culmination of years of hard work, creativity, and perseverance in advancing programmable switch-based network monitoring and security. We are very proud of his accomplishments and excited to see him begin the next chapter of his career at the Foundation for Science and AI Research (SAIR).

Big congratulations, Dr. Zhou! Wishing you continued success in your future research and professional journey!

We are thrilled and honored to have been recognized by the College of Engineering with TEES Faculty Fellow Award and Engineering Genesis Award. Thanks to all our collaborators, and in particular our SUCCESS Lab students. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with such talented individuals, and I am proud of what we have accomplished together. I look forward to our continued success together.
